In June of 2013 I emailed a request for information at the genealogy department in Germany about Charles Cist. This is my response.
Good Afternoon,
The DAGV is Academic Council of German Genealogical Association. Its purpose is the lobby work for the German family researchers and the coordination of genealogical research. It has no resources; no own library , data files or collections of charters, and it executes no research by order. The support given by the organization is very restricted and consists only as and advice to direct enquirers.
So, I can recommend to search Google, Family Search, Ancestry, My Heritage, or GedBas.
Dr. Wulf von Restorff
I interpret this as though I am at a dead end on this, but I will keep trying different avenues. I replied with a follow up email to Dr. Wulf von Restorff to keep Charles Cist in mind when networking. I wish him well.
I continue to network and find different avenues to pursue. I have signed up for the December 4th American History Conference of the Smithsonian Museum at the Warner Bros. Theater in Washington D.C.
It is acceptable to find artifacts on the Cist family. I am more interested in photographs taken and letters written by Cist family members than finding material items that belonged to Cist members.
I have written War Between the States at P.O. Box 267, Lady Lake, FL 32158. Perhaps, this company may have photos of Cist members that are unidentified. If they look at this blog they may match photos to names.
